IMPROVEMENT IN HOSE-NOZZLES.

` Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.A 202,207, dated April 9, 1878; application filed` February 27, 1878. A

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADoLPH WEBER, of Detroit, Wayne county, in the State of Michigan, have invented an Improvement in 'Hose'- Nozzles, of which the following is a specification:

The nature of my invention relates to new and valuable improvements in the construction of hose-nozzles; and the invention cons'ists in the construction and arrangement of the parts, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

Figure l is a side elevation of myimproved nozzle. Fig. 2is a similar view with the cap removed. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section through cap and its perfor-ations. Fig. 4 is a similar view with the cap in place. Fig. 5 is an elevation, showing my device as in operation.

In the drawings, A represents a nozzle of the ordinary construction, andprovided with the usual valve or cock B. Near the point of the main nozzle 'there is cut upon it a thread, a, which is designed to engage with a female thread, b, upon the inner surface of the thimble-cap C. The top of this cap is slightly concave, as shown, and is provided with orifices c, tangential to the bore or axis of the main nozzle. When the cap is screwed in place upon the nozzle a chamber, d, is formed betweenthe end of the nozzle and the top of the cap.

In the operation of this device the water forced through the bore of the nozzle is thrown With violence against the under side ofthe head of the cap, between the orifices; and it is necessary, in order to produce the desired result, that this imperforated portion ot' the head of the cap should present about the same area as is found in the smaller end of the bore in the main nozzle. The force of the stream against the head, as described, compels the water to divide and pass through the Vorifices o; and as they pass out of the same the currents follow the tangential line of the orifices until theyT meet, when such impact causes each current to repel theother, when the water falls in beautiful curves, spraying or sprinkling a large area of ground, as shown in Fig. 5.

I am aware that caps and rose-heads are employed in connection with nozzles,.wherein the perforations are in the same parallel line with the axis of the nozzle. I therefore do not, broadly, claim perforated caps or heads; but

What I claim as my invention isl. In combination with a hose-nozzle, a cap l provided with pert'orations tangential to the axis of the nozzle, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. f

2. The combination of a hose-nozzle and cap, forming the chamber d, s aid cap being provided with tangential orices through the head,. ,and opening out of said chamber, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
